  • FCA-PSA Merger
    Alert FCA-PSA Merger 1 November 2019 Executive Summary • Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and Groupe PSA have announced that they are working together towards creating one of the world’s largest automotive groups, with the aim of reaching a binding agreement in coming weeks. • The new entity would see global scale and resources owned 50% by Groupe PSA shareholders and 50% by FCA shareholders, with Carlos Tavares the merged group’s CEO. • This news follows on from the breakdown in merger discussions between FCA and Renault earlier this year. • LMC Automotive believes that there is a strong business case for such a consolidation; this latest merger announcement once again highlighting the cost pressures faced by the industry. • The high R&D expenditure relating to platform development, electrification, and other technologies, is expected to remain a drag on industry profitability over the course of the next decade, and further consolidation is likely. • A combined FCA-PSA group would become the fourth-largest OEM globally, with an annual production volume exceeding 8 million Light Vehicles per year. On that basis, it would surpass Hyundai Group, General Motors, Ford and Honda. • In Europe, the new group would challenge Volkswagen Group as the region’s number one OEM in sales volumes terms; however, in the world’s single largest vehicle market, China, FCA and PSA have both struggled to gain a footing, which this tie-up would not readily resolve. • Assuming a binding agreement is reached to create a new automotive giant, there remain significant execution risks associated with combining two sizeable entities. © 2019 LMC Automotive Limited, All Rights Reserved.

  • Fiat Chrysler, Peugeot Maker PSA Amend Merger Terms to Conserve Cash
    Image not found or type unknown https://www.metaforespress.gr Fiat Chrysler, Peugeot maker PSA amend merger terms to conserve cash 2020/09/16 19:18 στην κατηγορία INTERNATIONAL Peugeot maker PSA and Fiat Chrysler (FCA) have restructured the terms of their planned merger to conserve cash, and also stepped up the promised levels of cost cutting during the pandemic. The two companies, which are set to merge into Stellantis, the world’s fourth-largest carmaker, said in a joint statement late on Monday that FCA would cut to 2.9 billion euros ($3.4 billion) the cash portion of a 5.5 billion euro special dividend its shareholders will receive under the terms of the accord they signed last year. France’s PSA, whose brand portfolio also includes Citroen and Opel, will in turn postpone the planned spinoff of its 46% stake in parts maker Faurecia until after the merger’s closing and extend it to all shareholders of the new group. Faurecia’s market capitalisation is around 5.9 billion euros. “Amendments preserve the balance of original combination agreement,” the two groups said, adding that ownership of Stellantis would still be split 50/50 between current PSA and FCA shareholders. A source said on Monday that the aim of those changes was to reinforce the balance sheet structure of both companies after the COVID-19 crisis and ensure that the merger plan is concluded as soon as possible. Analysts had argued that such a large cash payout to FCA shareholders, led by controlling investor EXOR, the holding company of Italy’s Agnelli family, could weaken the new carmaker’s finances, as the auto industry is paying a high price for the coronavirus outbreak.
